A yeast model of 5-oxoproline accumulation reveals a general toleration to 5-oxoproline
2025-12-23
Abstract excerpt
5-oxoproline (5-OP) or pyroglutamic acid is an intermediate of the degradation arc of the glutathione cycle. It is metabolized into glutamate through the action of the 5-oxoprolinase enzyme, the only enzyme known to act on this metabolite. 5-OP has long been known to be relatively inert with a proposed role as an osomoprotectant. Recent studies on the 5-oxoprolinase enzyme in mammalian cells have, however, shown t...
